Spirit Goes Camping!

Recently, a friend and I went kayaking on Lake Ouachita and stayed in a choice spot right on the water. Amongst a sea of fancy RVs, we were surprisingly the only tent in the area. It's worth noting that I asked Spirit to help me find this beautiful site last minute. From the moment we arrived, I felt a presence with our camp neighbor who was alone. My friend and I joked for a couple of days about needing to invite him over for a reading. However, I kept blocking the energy because I was there to relax, not to relay messages from people who were no longer living. In addition, I didn’t want to freak out the man next to us, but somehow, I knew he needed a message.

A couple of nights went by, and while we were docking the kayaks, my friend made a comment to the neighbor about the biting flies. It didn’t take long for him to bring over a new bottle of Avon’s Skin So Soft. “This is the only thing I've found that works.” He was right! That little potion went into effect immediately. The next morning, I was gently awoken by him packing. Still cozy in my covers on the blow-up mattress, I stretched and looked at the time. It was 7:26 AM. Almost instantly, chills. Is this Spirit? The chills got even BIGGER, and I knew it was showtime. Suddenly, I heard in slow motion, “I love you, brother.” It could’ve been a sibling, but felt like it was one of his closest comrades. While I didn’t know anything about the man preparing to leave, I was willing to relay a heartfelt message from Spirit.

My friend and I went to the camp’s public bathroom; I could feel the spirit tagging along, getting ready to spill the beans. Bathrooms are like portals for me. Once inside, I told the spirit to reveal details that only the lone camper would absolutely know to be true. I listened inquisitively and trusted the messages received. After returning to our campsite, I cautiously walked over to our neighbor and said, “Hi, sorry to bother to you. I’m a psychic medium. Do you know what that is?” He nodded openly, then I said “I’ve been feeling a spirit with you all weekend.” He slightly giggled and confirmed that he was open to any messages from the other side.

Right away, I said, “There is a spirit with you that loves you very much. Does a beret mean anything? I feel like this spirit told me in the bathroom about a beret, and being in the military.” He took a step back, “I know who it is. It’s my best friend. We were blue berets in the military.” I then said, “There was a lot of emotion behind this spirit’s death... it was heartbreaking.” He agreed, and then began to reminisce: "We started camping this same spot in the 1970's, and ran a boat named ‘Skunk' together." He mentioned being retired, and that he visited often. He thanked me and expressed how much the message meant to him.

Shortly after returning to my campsite, the spirit swung back by to give thanks. Later, he told me “What they did wasn’t right.” I didn’t go back to the camper, but had a feeling that he knew what happened wasn’t right, either. In all honesty, I wanted the man in the RV to leave with a sense of peace. See, Spirit still wants to talk things out. Spirit is still growing and healing on the other side, constantly looking for ways to communicate with us. I could detect our memorable camper man thinking about the experience, and I believe that our interaction changed him, even in the slightest of ways. He apparently needed that message! In retrospect, while I wasn’t looking to work on this trip to Arkansas, I was still happy to help!
